Ultralight Bib Short delivers cooling comfort and compression for long summer rides
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This is the lightest, most breathable bib I’ve ever ridden in—perfect for those long, hot days in the saddle. The fabric disappears once you're moving, and the chamois holds strong even after hours. It’s my top pick when temps start pushing into the 80s and beyond."
When the ride demands maximum output and the sun doesn’t let up, the Ultralight Bib Short is engineered to perform. Its premium ultralight woven fabric cuts weight without sacrificing support, delivering exceptional moisture management and a next-to-skin feel that’s barely noticeable during movement. With 9/10 compression and 10/10 cooling, this short is optimized for high heat and long duration.
The multi-panel design enhances mobility, while a high-performance chamois provides comfort across extended distances with targeted padding and strategic ventilation. Wide, raw-edge leg grippers keep the fit locked in without creating hotspots, and the minimal bib upper enhances airflow across the back and shoulders. From summer centuries to altitude climbs, the Ultralight Bib is made to move fast and stay cool—even when the temperatures don’t.

Summer bibs, unmatched

These bibs are lightweight, non-see through and supportive. While sporting less compression than the Luxe, Concept or Adventure bibs, they still keep things in place and provide ample muscle compression for hard rides. They have a lighter-almost woven fabric that wicks moisture. The pad is the signature series and provides support for the longest rides. A true hot weather companion!
